Just Published: Les philosophes face au vice, de Socrate à Augustin

Les philosophes face au vice, de Socrate à Augustin Edited by/édité par Christelle Veillard, Olivier Renaut & Dimitri El Murr. July 2020. 314 pp. 143,00 Euro. Hardcover/PDF. ISBN: 978-90-04-43238-3 [hardcover]. (Philosophia Antiqua 154) [English] Virtue is undoubtedly one of the core issues for the ethical and political theories of ancient philosophers and is therefore well-worn territory for scholars of ancient philosophy. Les philosophes face au vice, de Socrate à Augustin breaks new ground by considering how the main ancient philosophers (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Augustine) and philosophical schools (Epicureans, Stoics) considered vice, the opposite of virtue, how they described the many vices, delineated their various kinds, accounted for their causes and effects, and reflected on how to cure them, and, even, use them on the path toward virtue. The book gathers 15 original contributions in English, French and Italian by leading scholars in the field of ancient philosophy and classics. [Français] [...]
